o "Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas." Climate scientists are lying down with some really lousy mutts and it's harming their credibility. They should be concerned that those getting the most exposure in promoting AGW are opportunistic pols like Al Gore, biased news media, ill-informed but loudly outspoken glitterati in the entertainment business, and the legions of power-hungry Leftists who, since the fall of communism, have been looking for an outlet into which they can pour their hatred of capitalistic societies. Not surprisingly, the public distrusts causes espoused by that motley crew.
